Wisdom teeth, or Third molars, are an additional set of teeth, which grow under the surface of the gums and, in many cases, are undetectable without proper x-ray evaluation or 3-D scanning. It is not uncommon for teens and adults to be unaware that these wisdom teeth exist in their mouth until they begin to present significant problems. Wisdom tooth removal by a licensed Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon will provide the highest quality surgical expertise for the surgical process.

“Well, when trying to decide where we wanted to go for our child to have their wisdom teeth removed, obviously the credentials and the training of the surgeon was critical. Dr. Stone has excellent credential, his training is superb, and that played a huge role in our decision. Had a great experience from the second we walked in the door. It was an open, nice, waiting area that was calm and quiet, and we were quickly taken back to start the procedure, have everything explained to my child, what was going to happen, how it was going to happen, and the procedure went great. It was quick, done, in and out, and Dr. Stone did a great job.”
